This overview focuses on the management strategies for alterations in the nervous system following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke. Emphasizing the importance of timely intervention, we explore the role of CT scans in the diagnosis and monitoring of cerebral changes. Understanding CT findings is crucial for formulating effective treatment goals, minimizing neurological deficits, and improving patient outcomes. Discover how early imaging and appropriate management can make a significant difference in recovery and rehabilitation.

The Nervous System

The Nervous System. How to label the brain and systems. Patterns of behavior are generally related to the functioning of structures of neural tissue or regions within the brain rather than single or small groups of neurons. Neural tissue can be categorized in a variety of ways.
